Marine veteran Jeremy Knauff has counseled thousands of veterans in a personal mission against suicide after overcoming his own post-service hardships.
Fox News host Jon Scott highlights the tragic but important facts about the rate of suicide among United States veterans and service members, and a father shares the story of tech sergeant Brooke Caffrey on 'Fox Report.'
He endured debilitating physical pain that took a toll not only on his body, but his mind. That coupled with financial stress led him to the point that he was concerned about the thoughts he was having: considering suicide. Then, while he was still in that mindset, he received a call with horrific news he will never forget.
Soon, he started getting a lot of private messages, and began counseling other veterans who reached out to talk to him because they were having similar thoughts of suicide. Knauff says helping others overcome thoughts of suicide has become a mission bigger than himself, that helps him carry on. "If you had asked me nine years ago, ‘how long can you withstand this sh*t?’ There's no way my answer would have been nine years," he told. But he says people don't realize what they're capable of or able to overcome until they're pushed into a situation where they're forced to do it.
